Coscinodiscus faurii Gasse, 1975. PhD dis. Univ. Paris VI, Vol. II: 24, pl. 32, figs 1, 2. 1975.

Morphological description.

The frustule is low-cylindrical, valves are flat, 21.4-25.5 μm in diameter, central processes located on the valve ingroups, 6 marginal fultoportulae in 10 μm (Fig. 4G View Figure 4 ).

Ecology.

Planktonic and benthic in freshwater reservoirs, lakes, rivers, and fossil. Lack of information for this taxon must be noted, but it is known that this species is very sensitive to salinity ( Roubeix et al. 2014).

Distribution.

Thalassiosira faurii (Gasse) Hasle occurred near Mykolaiv city in the Southern Bug River (Table 1 View Table 1 ). This taxon was registered for the Dnipro River and its reservoirs, mouth of the Danube in the Black Sea ( Maystrova et al. 2007; Roubeix et al. 2014).

Worldwide distribution shows this species to occur in some European countries (Hungary, Russia), Asia (Russia), Africa (Ethiopia, Tanzania, Kenia, Kongo) ( Tsarenko et al. 2009; Roubeix et al. 2014; Genkal et al. 2020).
